Future jobs: Top experts discuss AI trends in Ingolstadt!
The “Science2Business Corporate Forum” will take place on July 24, 2025 at the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt. The event will be held at the KU's future campus, in the Georgianum at Hohe-Schul-Straße 5 in Ingolstadt. Target groups are companies, economic developers, municipalities, chambers, associations and researchers. The program begins at 1:00 p.m. with a get-together and a lunch snack.
A highlight of the forum is the awarding of the Helfenzried Innovation Prize, which will be held at 1:30 p.m. by Mayor Dr. Michael Kern is made. The focus of the event is on networking and discussing practical topics, exchanging successful strategies and generating new impulses for the economy.
Sessions on artificial intelligence and leadership
The forum includes two central sessions. The first session, starting at 2 p.m., is dedicated to the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in areas such as customer service and data management. Here Dr. Marah Blaurock from the Chair of General Business Administration and Service Management will give a lecture.
The second session, which starts at 4 p.m., will cover the topics of employee management and tax complexity. This session will be led by Prof. Dr. Harald Pechlaner and Dr. Madlen Schwing from the Chair of Tourism and the Center for Entrepreneurship, FGF.
Networking and collaborations
As part of the forum, there is a “Meet & Connect Area” that offers participants the opportunity to exchange ideas and present projects and solutions through research institutions, companies and municipal partners. This event is organized in cooperation between the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt and the economic department of the city of Ingolstadt.
In addition, various partners are involved in the event, including the Artificial Intelligence Network Ingolstadt (AININ), the regional management IRMA e.V. and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry for Munich and Upper Bavaria.
The role of artificial intelligence in the economy
The relevance of artificial intelligence in the German economy is reinforced by current studies. According to a study, 57 percent of companies in Germany report that they are working on AI. Of these, 20 percent are already using AI, which represents an increase compared to 15 percent a year ago. Furthermore, 37 percent of companies plan to use AI, an increase of 28 percent in 2023.
78 percent of companies see opportunities in the use of AI, which marks a significant increase from 68 percent in the previous year. The population is also positive: 74 percent of those surveyed see AI as an opportunity. The findings come from two representative surveys by Bitkom, in which 602 companies with at least 20 employees and 1,007 people aged 16 and over in Germany were surveyed.
The event in Ingolstadt therefore offers a platform to discuss these developments and advance the application of artificial intelligence in business practice. Participation is free of charge, but registration is required to ensure organization and exchange.
